Nolet's The Reserve Gin is an ultra-luxury small-batch gin from the Nolet family distillery in Schiedam, Holland—the same eleven-generation house behind Ketel One Vodka, with roots in distilling going back to 1691. Released in tiny allocations and bottled individually with a numbered label signed by Carolus Nolet Sr., The Reserve is widely regarded as one of the most exclusive gins ever produced, hand-crafted from a closely guarded recipe built around saffron and verbena.
The nose leads with warm saffron, lemon verbena, and a soft wash of juniper, drifting into subtle spice and floral lift. The palate is silky and deeply aromatic: more saffron, honeyed citrus, a hint of ripe apricot, and a refined herbal backbone that runs through a long, elegant finish. At 104.6 proof, it carries weight and concentration without heat—this is a sipping gin, not a mixer.
Serve The Reserve neat in a small tulip glass, or with a single hand-cut ice cube. If you must mix, keep it simple—premium tonic and a lemon twist, nothing more. A trophy bottle for serious gin collectors and the home bar's top shelf.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a sipping gin built around saffron and verbena, made in small batches by the Nolet family distillery in Schiedam, the eleven-generation house behind Ketel One Vodka, with distilling roots reaching back to 1691. The nose opens on warm saffron and lemon verbena over a soft wash of juniper. The palate stays silky and deeply aromatic, with honeyed citrus, a hint of ripe apricot and a refined herbal backbone carrying into a long, saffron-warm finish. At 52.3% ABV it has real weight and concentration, yet it carries that strength without heat. It suits the gin drinker who already knows the classic juniper-forward styles and wants to see how far the category can stretch, as well as the collector who values a numbered label signed by Carolus Nolet Sr. We carry it because it makes a compelling case for gin as a neat, contemplative pour, and because it gives a serious top shelf a distinctive centerpiece.
Pairs well with
- Saffron seafood paella — The dish's saffron mirrors the gin's signature saffron warmth, while its honeyed citrus brightens the seafood.
- Apricot and almond tart — Ripe apricot and honey notes in the gin echo the fruit and sweetness of the tart.
- Slow after-dinner sipping — Its long, lingering finish and layered botanicals reward unhurried sipping once the plates are cleared.
